Duck & Egghead features the early, zany version of Daffy Duck, who spends the film harassing Egghead (making his second appearance in this cartoon as a hunter after making his first appearing Egghead Rides Again), and also marking the second appearance of Daffy Duck (after Porky's Duck Hunt), his first in color, and first where he is given his current name. It includes a set-piece song-and-dance number by Daffy, doing his own variation of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" (which had recently become the theme for Looney Tunes). Some scenes were reused from the previous Looney Tune cartoon Porky's Duck Hunt'', from Daffy nipping the hunter's nose, to his whooping and hollering as he bounced in and out of the water. This cartoon was re-released into the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies program on April 20, 1946. The original opening, credits, and closing title cards were found and restored with the release of the third volume of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection in 2005. However, the audio used for the remastering of this short was taken from the European Turner "dubbed version", hence why the ending rendition of "Merrily We Roll Along" is incorrect. Censorship When the short was aired in the United States during the 1990s and 2000s on Cartoon Network, Boomerang and The WB, the scene in which Egghead kills the silhouetted audience member was cut.
